Formed in September 2008 around the Bay Area, their time together has been more than fruitful with at least one new release each year, their last spurt in late 2012 came after teaming up with SF label Warrior Monk Records and the London-based "Smoky Records" for the releases of "Forget the Remember" and "Not Until All Beings Are One." With gigs and festivals on both coasts under their belts, their twangy, ethereal sound's fan base is expanding rapidly, and for good reason. As their influences span the world over, The LD's sound nestles into a midway point between classically secure and radically inventive. Their aura radiates a feeling that strongly fits their name; every track has a musically adept top layer with an underlying foundation of positivity. The Spiral Electric Clay Andrews -- Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards, Nicolas Percey -- Lead Guitar, Tyler Allen -- Bass, Tyler Weeks -- Drums from San Francisco, CA " Want a major fix of psychedelic rock? Look no further than the Spiral Electric, who takes major inspiration from the best of the dark flower power rock and rollers. With perfectly sung vocals, catchy breakdowns, and a classic take on psych rock, this band is super appealing both live and with a joint in hand and a good pair of headphones on. Live, the intensity and technicality of the band cannot be overlooked as they deliver elaborate melodies, speculative lyrics, and smartly composed and well-executed psych tunes. Some hints of MASH's "Suicide Is Painless," an underappreciated gem, bubble to surface upon listening. The band pays homage (and does it very well) to the psych history of their hometown, San Francisco. Spin out on their groovy rhythms -- I'm pretty sure there will be at least one neo-hippie getting his or her groove on right in front of the stage -- and just go with the flow. All fans of the Brian Jonestown Massacre will rejoice, as the Spiral Electric is channeling some of the more put together BJM eras: jammy guitar, psychedelic synths, first-rate vocals, and outstanding harmonizing.
